System Admins are mysterious people, they can do stuff we mere mortals can't. They have secret powers, they are kind of like Clark Kent, but nowhere as muscular or good looking

Just for mentioning his name, he can ban you or change your avatar to a Chicken or make you type in Wing Dings. Don't annoy the system admin.

All the mods can edit post counts.

We have had to dock new users who post several one word replies in a topic. We combine them to one, then drop the count. These are usually amateurs trying to reach a Buy/Sell/Trade level. This is what we mean by quality posts.
Rest in Peace

I thought it was a mix of flour and butter used to thicken certain sauces.

Late Edit

I had this mixed up with Roux

I think Rui hard coded his in the DB though.

I am Groot. We are Rui.

Rui is a fantastic friend, developer, software engineer, etc.

We started hosting with GoDaddy, outgrew that shared hosting in no time. Rui was our next host, we were with him for many, many years until we outgrew him.

Then we went to a virtual server with KiwiHosting. The owner of that hosting company was a one man operation...... until he passed away in his sleep. We didn't find out until about 3 weeks later. So our data could've all disappeared any time. One of the most stressful times of my life. I was physically sick because we could have lost everything. Rui stayed up for about 20 hours babysitting our database downloading.

Rui then helped me immensely in setting up with LiquidWeb on our own private (kickass) server. He moved to them also, but guess what, he helped me first.
